The FXC.EXE compiler defaulted to putting the shader debug information inside the shader blob which is simple, but can lead to 'bloaty' shader blobs. Fd '$(OutDir)%(Filename).pdb' %(AdditionalOptions)īe sure to update all the configurations in your project ( Release|圆4, Debug|Win32, Release|Win32, etc.). If you wish to modify the Visual Studio vcxproj that invokes the shader build to use DXIL, modify the Exec statement near the bottom of the file as follows: To use Shader Model 6, invoke the CompileScripts.cmd with dxil:īe sure your application verifies that Shader Model 6 is supported before using the DirectX Tool Kit effects, SpriteBatch, or any other shader-using class or you will get runtime errors/C++ exceptions that may be harder to diagnose. Using Shader Model 6 shaders for DirectX Tool Kitīy default shaders are built with FXC for Shader Model 5.1 (using Root Signature 1.1).

Shader Model 6 was not supported prior to Windows 10 Anniversary Update (14393). The code above assumes you are building with Windows 10 SDK (14393) or later. Note that a number of Shader Model levels were defined originally as 'experimental' so were not supported by the released DXC compiler or production drivers until later releases of Windows.
